Company Symbols – About the Madison Pillar

The pillar has long been recognized as a company symbol of strength, stability and durability. And, these are just the qualities that Madison’s founders wanted to convey when they chose a pillar as the primary component of the company’s logo.

The Corinthian style pillar used in the Madison logo is slender and fluted, and the capital, or top, of the pillar, is decorated with leaves and scrolls. Corinthian pillars were used throughout the second Jerusalem temple including in the Mercy Gate, the Temple Mount and the tunnel that served as the main entrance and exit of the Temple.

A visit to the Museum of the Bais Hamikdash reveals many examples of pillars from the remains of the Second Jerusalem Temple that were later re-used in other structures.
